Today, for the major part of our travels we ditched the interstate in favor of US 67 and US 271. Although, it was a cloudy overcast day, there was no desperately needed rain. It was a pleasant drive through gently rolling hills and small towns and cities.
In the town of Gurdon, AK US 67 was labeled the Civil War Trail. Although Gurdon wasn’t founded until 1880 when the railroad came through, it is in Clark County which has several important stops on the Camden Expedition – part of the Arkansas Civil War Trails.
After a very pleasant stop for a late lunch/early dinner in Mt. Pleasant, TX we continued on our way to today’s destination – Tyler in northeast TX.
Tomorrow, we head for Killeen, TX for a visit with friends.
Best wishes,
Wayne & Peggy
